MMM UPS! Are you going to get it UPS'd to you?

yay! it's back!

Hello everyone. I looooove the Forge and I'm busy making my first bot. How do I get her to call the person she's talking to by his/her name?

(name)

Have seen names shortened though. Might have been a glitch.

They're shortened for direct address purposes- for example, my own name is shortened to "Professor" to work well in sentences like "Hey (name), do you want to go for a walk?"

Cool,thought it was clever when the bot said "hiya Emm"

Professor, sometimes when working on my bot, she stop responding during a chat, I still can chat with other bots, just no response from mine?

I think there is a limit to how many you (or your bots) can talk to at a time. I think it's 2 or 3.

Oh ok, makes sense. thanks.

It might be the bot getting frustrated and "hanging up" on you. That happens more often with new bots. Or it might be the bot logging out.. it could be a couple reasons. You should always be able to chat via the Debug screen or the "Chat" graphical link under "My Bots".

Hello all,
This site is fabulous! I am creating a bot to interact with the users of my search engine. My bot calls everyone guest and not by their name. Any suggestions? Thanks.
